[Coercive possession + cold and abstinent hero + desperate pursuit of his wife + scheming heroine]
Everyone says Grand Tutor Pei is a refined gentleman, cool and abstinent, without even a personal maid in his household.
No one knows he is ill: after nightfall, he burns with desire and needs a woman as “medicine” to sleep peacefully.
When Shen Nuoxin wakes up, she has become the daughter of a disgraced official, sent to the Bureau of Music. Before she can get her bearings, she is caught up in a murder case. The price of staying alive is serving as an antidote for the powerful Grand Tutor.
For one year.
By day, she is the household physician, taking his pulse from behind a curtain and respectfully addressing him as “My Lord.”
At night, the man who is as pure and bright as the moon presses her into the brocade bedding, his eyes tinged red and his breath frighteningly hot. The more abstinent he is by day, the more unhinged he becomes at night.
At first, he personally feeds her an abortion-inducing decoction. “Know your place. Don’t entertain foolish hopes.”
Later, he holds her locked in his arms, his voice hoarse. “Bear me a child, and I’ll raise you to the rank of a favored concubine.”
She obediently climbs onto his shoulder and answers softly, “My Lord, Qinqin will do as you say.”
Pei Yan thinks she is a sweet, gentle remedy. The more he takes her, the more addicted he becomes.
Until that night, when flames soar into the sky.
He sees her standing in the heart of the fire, her red skirts billowing, her eyes colder than he has ever seen them.
“I’d rather die than be anyone’s concubine!”
She leaps without hesitation.
Only then does he realize: how could she ever have looked at him with even the slightest bit of genuine affection?
Beneath the false image of obedience, gentleness, and demure submission lies an unbending spirit and a heart that belongs to her alone, a heart she will never give him.
Super well written! The male protagonist has a tendency to take things by force. Although the female protagonist doesn't have any cheats or anything like that, she is very smart! Don't accept others' advice casually, the counterattack is very reasonable and relieves anger! The most important thing is that the counterattack basically does not rely on the male protagonist!! (This is much better than many stories that claim to be "heroine-driven novels") And the saddest thing is that the ideas of male and female protagonists are not wrong from the perspective of the times. It's really beautiful! Strongly recommend💕💕💕
In addition to the male protagonist who is a bit of a god, the female protagonist is very well portrayed and very rational. She can make decisions wisely even after knowing that the male protagonist is a god. The plot is very well written and the strategy is very well written. It perfectly touches my love for the ancient Machiavellian plot. The character is not broken. I hope that the heroine will not break the character in the future. The male protagonist can be buried on the spot and return his two wives. I will just give him two cannons.
Looks good, looks good, looks good!!! Keep up the great work and update more! I can't wait to see Nuo Nuo say she doesn't want to be a concubine, and there will be a crematorium for Taifu to pursue his wife! Then I have to torture him hard!!! Warm reminder: If you update continuously and regularly every day, you will get more streams.
The writing style is very good, and the writing is fascinating in a different way. I read it in one go and urged me to update it. I look forward to the update.
The writing is very good. I was left in the first chapter. It's beautiful ❤️
It's hard to chase after it, but I can't bear to give up. It's really beautiful!
Looks good. When will the introduction highlight come on? Haha, I'm anxious.
It's very interesting. The plot is so tight that it could be a comic. Hahahaha. The author should update it soon 😄
Super beautiful, highly recommended, don't miss it
The plot is tight and I'm still following it.
